The use of ethanol as an additive to gasoline fuel is becoming a common phenomenon. It helps solve the energy crisis and environmental issues that fossil fuel has brought about. However, when dissolved in motor oil, ethanol would dilute motor oil...

In the reopening of fluid occluded airways, the pressure gradient due to the propagation of an air bubble causes extensive epithelial cell damage. The mechanism of cell necrosis and biotransport may be further understood by characterizing the flow...

With recent advancements in the synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials, scientists are able to create multi-scale novel polymers with various cases of chemical functionalities, diversified topologies, as well as cross-linking...

Clinico-genomic modeling refers to the statistical analysis that incorporates both clinical data such as medical test results, demographic information and genomic data such as gene expression profiles. It is an emerging research area in biomedical...

Oligonucleotides (ONs) are typically defined as short nucleic acid polymers that are 20 to 200 bases long. It has been well known that aptamers (single-stranded DNA or RNA ONs) can adopt distinct three-dimensional folded structures and bind to...

Weak bonds such as hydrogen bond, pi-pi stacking and van der Waals interaction are much weaker in the strength but play a more important role for the existence of various lives. For example, they are the major intermolecular interactions in the...

A central question of political philosophy is this: What does justice demand of us, politically and economically? What is the just way to select our political leaders, arrange the institutions of government, and distribute wealth and income? I...

"Hydrophobic hydration of non polar molecules is the principal driving force that dictates several interfacial phenomena in nature such as self assembly of surfactant molecules, fate of environmental pollutants, wetting of surfaces, solution...
